Mobile Pre-move Survey Solution

Estimator is a pre-move survey application that runs on iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Mobile smartphones and tablets. Estimator allows the surveyor to quickly create the list of articles to pack and move and to check the accumulated volume by room or by shipment mode. Packing materials are estimated automatically based on your company's standards. Click to view sample survey summary.

When the survey is complete, a summary report is generated automatically, ready to be printed and/or emailed. Survey details can also be exchanged with the office via computer or email.

The survey process is very simple and intuitive. Moving from room to room (or office to office), the surveyor can quickly capture each article's name and shipment mode (or mark the article 'not going'); if necessary, adjust predefined weight and volume, add notes; specify crate size; take a picture; and appraise insurance value.

New articles can be easily added to the standard HHGI list during survey.

Estimator helps salespeople spend more time with the shipper. Survey results can easily and comprehensively be reviewed and explained. The shipper will feel comfortable when he sees all details and requests captured.
